William Gazitano
My name is William S. Gazitano. I am licensed clinical social worker, living in upstate New York. I worked full time as a Social Worker 31 years and retired in April 2008. I am now working part time as an Employee Assistance Counselor. I am 60 years old. I have been writing letters to the editor about political matters since I was 20 years old. I also started an informal blog to post opinions about current national politics. I have received a lot of positive feedback for my letters to the editor, even from those who disagree with me. I try to point out where the pundits and the corporate news media tends to miss the point. I have also made presentations at my church that have been well received, usually about more spiritual matters. I have started work on a couple manuscripts which are still works in progress. Those are primarily fiction, but I have one that would be non-fiction.
I was born and raised in upstate New York in the Rome Utica area. I grew up as a Catholic and later joined the Unitarian Universalist faith. My spiritual beliefs have evolved over time and I currently embrace much of what is described in "A Course in Miracles". I strive to apply my spiritual thinking in my political discourse by avoiding hate and fear speech toward individuals. I am more inclined to point out the inconsistencies of what is said by those with whom I disagree. My greatest concerns are about the environment and the economic inequality that has grown over the past 30 years. When I think of what we are leaving for future generations, it concerns me that they do not have the same opportunities that I have had. I am also concerned that the planet my generation will leave behind will be in much worse shape than the one I grew up in.
I am currently single. I have 6 cats who reside with me and several neighborhood cats who visit my front porch for a snack and place to warm up in the winter.
